The Schindler Factory is located on Lipowa Street, about 2 miles (3 kilometers) southeast of Krakow's Old Town. If you are not visiting on a tour, public transport is available by bus or tram. Take the bus to the Krakowska Akademia stop on Herlinga Grudzinskiego Street, or take tram 7, 13, or 24 to Ghetto Heroes Square (Plac Bohaterow Getta).
Oskar Schindler's Factory is open throughout the year, with extended hours from Apr. 1 to Oct. 31. It is busiest on weekends and holidays.
For more about Krakow's Jewish heritage and Oskar Schindler's actions in World War II, visit the Jewish Quarter and view the 33 Holocaust memorial chairs. Also check out the Remuh Cemetery, the oldest in the city, and stroll along Szeroka Street, the heart of Kazimierz, to see remnants of the old ghetto wall. Finally, follow in Schindler's footsteps and visit real-life filming locations used for Schindler's List, the 1993 Steven Spielberg film that immortalized him.
